Take Action

Our forensic science degree program will prepare you for work in most sections of the forensic laboratory. You'll be immersed in the world of drugs, arson, toxicology, death investigations and DNA evidence. Course work is not for the faint of heart and includes an exploration of accidental deaths and suicide, crime scene photography, forensic autopsy photography, micro and specialty photography, National Database Systems relating to mortality and morbidity, and collecting trace evidence like hair, fiber, glass and paint.

In the forensic science major, you'll have the opportunity to participate in real-world internships as well — for example, the Allegheny County Medical Examiner's Office is just a short walk away. If you like applying chemistry, physics, biology and math to problems related to legal situations, then our forensic science degree program may be right for you.
